Thanks Rob for the update.. and a big thanks to Bianca for some fantastic camera work.. and a great laugh at the end of the video...I'm still grinning for your comment... Well I sure am happy that you shared the back up air supply video, saves me a search for it. Lol... Can't wait for your next journey. New aquaponics and back yard farming.. this is going to be wonderful to watch.. I thank you so much Rob and Bianca for sharing this part of your lives with us. I really do appreciate what you do not only for myself but for others in our own journey into aquaponics and farming in small or large yards.. Cheers..❤
Thanks Bryan. Really looking forward to making a new start & we've been creating logistics lists all morning here. 🤣 Thanks again for the order as well. Will get the Uniseals down to the PO in a few hours & you should have them in a few days time. 👍 Cheers & all the best to you both.
hahahahaha happy naked garden day !!! 😅 Very exciting stuff. I assume that your offer has been accepted. So congratulations to you guys with the new house !! I am really looking forward to all the upcoming videos. But take your time, because moving is already stressful enough. 👍
Offer was accepted, just waiting on the bank finance side of things now. We have to jump through a few hoops which we'll explain in the next farm update vid. 😉 Cheers mate & have a fantastic week.
I blame you for my new found Aquaponics obsession.! 😂 My setup has been running for a month now with the next IBC being delivered from a friend next week 🤙💕 Thanks again from South Australia 🇦🇺
🤣 I've had a few wives say that they blame me when they visit with there hubbies so I'm used to it now. They're always grateful when they see the veg & fish after a month or two though. 😉 Hope the build goes smoothly. Cheers Dane & happy growing mate.
Couldn't have asked for a better move Dave. Thanks for coming along yesterday. It's always great to chat. I hope I can get to an original picture for you to use as a background in the near future. 😉😃
They're a great idea if you can source one suitable for your build. 👍 I was gifted a tall cone based settler drum but haven't had the chance to use it yet due to its height.
The plants are growing in a fired clay pebble called Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate or LECA for short. LECA is used mainly in hydroponic & aquaponic growing systems & can be purchased in bulk from most hydroponic & some landscaping firms Gerard. There are lightweight natural options available as well like expanded shale & volcanic rocks like pumice & scoria that folks will use. Hope that helps mate.
G'day Rob. I'm in the process of starting to design myself a large lot of garden beds and trying to decide if it would be more economical for me to use all standard soil garden raised garden beds or use a aquaponic system to grow leafy and root vegetables and just use soil beds for my fruiting vegetables. I'm disabled and in a wheelchair so I also have to take into account a limited budget being on a pension and also making my vegetable growing as wheelchair friendly as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 😊
I would suggest starting with soil &/or hydroponics first if you're new to growing veggies. 👍 Once you get a handle on that you could add fish into the mix. Wicking beds are a great way to grow using soil & are typically made in raised bed configurations. I hope that helps some.
Good day Rob and as always, thank you for the videos. I have a curiosity question. When you move out to the farm are you going to harvest the fish you have now and start out with fingerlings or transport the fish out to the new farm?
Het Stacie. We're planning on giving these fish away & starting with locally sourced fingerlings once we move. 👍 We might harvest a few for ourselves but we also have a freezer full of meat we need to eat out before we go as well.
Nice setup, though I'd be very curious to see test results for pfas from your fish. Perhaps try to see if a local university or such would be willing to test for you. That's a lot of plastic.
I dare say any levels in the food from this system would be WAY lower than the food prepared on most no stick cookware or from takeaway containers/wrappers & coffee cups. I think I saw that all the wonderful paper straws that are going to save the environment (so people at tossing as they're paper & "will decompose") are full of them too so they will last longer & not go soggy. We live in very "strange times".
They are all over the 500g/1lb mark with some being twice that weight Joseph. All pretty much could be harvested now but they get to live a bit longer as we're more focused on moving to a far we just purchased. I'm gifting these to a friend to run his system.

Hi EGT. 👋
someday, in my Los Angeles backyard, but I watch you to keep dreaming...
Hope it's sooner rather than later TB. 😁👍
Not for nothing, your content is interesting and informative. And it really kicks my imagination into high gear. I like that!
Glad to hear it Sue.
Cheers & have a fantastic day.

Good day.
Morning Michael.
👍 Nice looking fish Rob. An easy transfer.
Thanks Gary. Will be trying to find them a new home soon.
Thanks, the guide is great!
Glad you find it useful MB. 😁👍
👍 Great move looks like everything went well.
Very smooth thanks Nevan.
You should wrap your Teflon tape in a tightening directions you will get better results
Coming from a 30 year plumber I love your set up
I generally do when working with threads.
Cheers mate & have a fantastic week.
Great work mate
🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Thanks Mark. 👍
You want any Jade perch? 😃
I enjoy seeing what you're doing in your systems.
Cheers Gilbert. 😁👍
Good video . Your going to stress the fish out when you move to the farm
These will be staying down here in new homes hopefully Malcolm. Might harvest 1 or 2 for the table.
Good Day Mate
Hi Oscar.
Here's to new adventures!
Cheers mate. 😁😁
Great update mate 😊
Thanks Leon.
Have a top week mate. 👍
Well that went well.
Couldn't have asked for a better move Dave.
Thanks for coming along yesterday. It's always great to chat.
I hope I can get to an original picture for you to use as a background in the near future. 😉😃
Seamless move. I find the bigger the net the easier it is to catch the fish without stress. Like you said they just swim right in and are caught 😊
I chased our first batch around the tank but learned very quickly this was less stressful for all involved.
Hope all's well with you Jennifer.
Wonderful!
Many thanks Sally. 😁😁👍
Looks great - best of luck on the move!
Thanks Jake.
Have a top one mate.
Nice. Thanks for the vid.
No problem & thanks for visiting mate.👍
Keep it up, brother!
Thanks mate.
I enjoyed the video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Steve. 👍
Have a great one mate.
Just gday mate ;)
Howdy HP. 👍👋
good day mate
Howdy David. 👍
Rob what do you think of cone bottom tanks for the SLO tanks, good idea or not?
They're a great idea if you can source one suitable for your build. 👍
I was gifted a tall cone based settler drum but haven't had the chance to use it yet due to its height.
Where do you get the media that you use in the grow beds?
The plants are growing in a fired clay pebble called Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate or LECA for short. LECA is used mainly in hydroponic & aquaponic growing systems & can be purchased in bulk from most hydroponic & some landscaping firms Gerard.
There are lightweight natural options available as well like expanded shale & volcanic rocks like pumice & scoria that folks will use.

Hello Rob, I see that this biofilter have a bit different in and out that previous one. Is there a reason you have changed it?
It was due to the height in the drains. I'll run through it in todays video for you. 😉👍
Hope to have it posted to YT some time tomorrow.
Nice setup, though I'd be very curious to see test results for pfas from your fish. Perhaps try to see if a local university or such would be willing to test for you. That's a lot of plastic.
I dare say any levels in the food from this system would be WAY lower than the food prepared on most no stick cookware or from takeaway containers/wrappers & coffee cups. I think I saw that all the wonderful paper straws that are going to save the environment (so people at tossing as they're paper & "will decompose") are full of them too so they will last longer & not go soggy.
We live in very "strange times".
@@RobsAquaponics It would be a good dare indeed because I doubt that. You might would be surprised..
They are huge
How close to eating size now?
They are all over the 500g/1lb mark with some being twice that weight Joseph. All pretty much could be harvested now but they get to live a bit longer as we're more focused on moving to a far we just purchased. I'm gifting these to a friend to run his system.

I know this is old but dogs should eat passion fruit.
We prefer he doesn't when we visit the old place.

Fishy fishy =)
Would you like a few? They'll need new homes very soon if all goes well. 😉
